Weekly Weigh In 5/24/11

Weight = 190.8Loss = + 2.0Gain from lowest of 185 = + 5.8

Considering on Monday morning the scale was 193, today is far better. Like I said before I am DONE with this. I know how much better I feel when I am on and getting fitter. I hit my 38th birthday this past Sunday. I want to be fit at forty. Well before that but you get the idea. I don’t mentally feel like I am steps away from 40 but honestly sometime I physically do feel it.

The other night I was at a friend’s 40th. The party was full of people I haven’t seen in a long time. Even with my recent gain I still received a ton of awesome compliments. The funniest was a “you look hot”. Never though of myself as HOT. One friend said you can now see how I am meant to look. That is, without all the fat covering my face. There was the usual picture montage. In one of the pics it was me about 10 years ago, my face was so big. Didn’t even see myself at first look. In fact someone else had to point it out to me.

I have more to say but it’s time to channel cinderelly, no, not the ball gown and glass slipper one.

About this Blog

What does FIT mean to me. It encompasses my life. Its about balance. Its about exercise being a regular part of my day, like getting dressed. It's a state of mind where food has no control. Urges, binges and out of control eating never happen. A place where life is at an even pace even during chaos.

This is my sounding board for my journey to find the fit girl within. I know she's in there somewhere. I am 40, married with 2 beautiful, crazy, insane, fun boys - a 9 year old and a 4 year old. I stay at home to run my house and raise my boys and volunteer all over time. My highest weight (not pregnant) is 232 (in 2007). It might have been higher at some point but that's is the highest recorded I know of.

I have been writing here for sometime. I have had a roller coaster of a journey and as many failures as successes. I reached my lowest of 185 in about April 2011. It's now 2013 and in the summer I've topped out at about 225. I am working an me and bringing the fit girl back in my daily life.
